I do anything goes and i do what a kick out of you and i do you have a top with rod hudson and hmmm. You know why thats a good idea . Yes. Is because a lot of young the first big Broadway Musical ive showed, i guess it really started the whole format was oklahoma that was a breakthrough. Yep. I remember seeing that and i guess what would be in 1942 43 Something Like that. A little after 43, which set the tone for that whole new era of musicals. And nowadays, the young peop of musicals anymore thats true. With the great music. I was going to say, yeah. Yeah, and they do from time to time. Yeah, they have to because nothing else good is coming out. You must be asked from time to time, say, ethel, how would you like to go out and play gypsy for six months oh, yeah. Lots of times, but id rather do my concerts. And this is good because theres new departures. Oh, its a whole new ball game for me. Yeah, its great. Thats im ecstatic about it, really. Isnt it great to go around and have everything still pumping . Yeah, it sure is. Let me do this and we have dr. Henry heimlich [ music ] [ applause ] dr. Henry heimlich is a noted surgeon and researcher who has developed the technique im sure many of you are familiar with called the heimlich maneuver and hes going to show us how to do that tonight, which prevent a person who is choking from losing their life. A situation which has come up and a lot of people would panic in that situation not know what to do. So i think this is a very valuable experiment tonight. Would you welcome, please, dr. Henry heimlich. [ music ] [ applause ] this is a problem most people think they probably never will be faced with and yet its a very common occurrence in this country, isnt it . People choking food or usually Something Like that. Much more common than any of us expected. Right. At least for quite a while. Actually, its the sixth largest cause of accidental death right. And that means at least 4, 000 people die let alone around the world that probably couldve been saved. That couldve been saved most of them probably couldve been saved. Interestingly enough, in infants, its the largest cause of accidental death in the home under age one. I remember being in a restaurant once, some years ago and watching somebody, obviously in distress and everybody froze, including me, because we didnt know what to do. I wouldve done what the average person to go slap them on the back, which is something you say is not the right thing to do. Well, its more of a i say that in the history of medicine in all the history of medicine, its been shown, actually for the past hundred years, over and over again, if you hit someone on the back, you can actually drive the object deeper and tighter into the throat. Where did that start then . Because everybody is familiar with that. Pick them up and hold an infant and hit them on the back . Well, i think basically, its like an old superstition. Its bad news. That people cough, which was not choking, they would do that. Theres one possibility that by putting somebody over the knee, and not done the heimlich maneuver with the knee. Right. But, its a good thing not do because weve had deaths reported when people have been hit on the back both by having the object pushed deeper in the throat and then the loss of time right. Before you get to the heimlich maneuver can be the difference between brain damage and death. Yeah, some doctor told me once, a friend of mine i said, what should i do . And this is before and he says, well, could you do an emergency tracheotomy . And i said, how do you do that . And he says, well, and he says, you find the adams apple this little bone, right . And now you go down to the first little open space you feel, right . Right. Beneath that, and then you take a sharp object and you push between and that opens the throat. But im not sure i would be ready to do that on somebody. I dont think doctors would want to do it and so in part, most importantly, you see, you have four minutes from the onset of choking to death. Before the you cant wait for a doctor or an ambulance. The parent has to save the child at home has to go right ahead and save the other person and if you delay it, of course, youre just going to be beyond saving them. Now, i must tell you something that youre here. That you bud robinson, whos a good friend of ours who is docs manager and he is wife bud and cici, they were a pair of dancers i was demonstrating your maneuver to them one night backstage because he had been to a restaurant he says, you know, i was in a restaurant, and i says, well, if somebody else and he says, i didnt know what to do, and i said, bud, have you seen this maneuver . This doctor is showing the country. And he says, no. And i did what you said, i got the thumb under the ribcage all right. And i gave kind of an upwards and so forth and i cracked one of his ribs. [ laughter ] unbeknownst to him the next day he came in all taped up i had cracked his ribs and i said, arent you breathing a lot better . [ laughter ] true story. So that can happen, right . Did you know how to treat his fractured ribs . No, that i didnt care about. He was on his own. But that can happen, i suppose. Yeah. Well. No, its an important point and when i show you how to do this, john, if you do the heimlich maneuver correctly. [ laughter ] it is possible. It is not possible to break a rib. Its not if you do it correctly. Obviously, i was not correct in my procedure. Why dont we start. What do we have to work on . You want to start . I thought id start start on an actual human . Well. No, with you. [ laughter ] [ applause ] okay, i am in this the symbol that youre choking, right . If youre in a restaurant and you need help, you go all right. Whats important to know, you know, i came out with this in june 1974 in a medical journal. Mmhmmm. At that very month, i had a medical meeting with a hundred doctors present and a doctor choked to death because the symptoms were not easily recognized at all. So, in addition to knowing how to do the heimlich maneuver i see. You have to be able to recognize. I had to go back and figure one, two, three how could people in other words, somebody might be having a partial stroke dizziness a heart and they just look strange and they dont tell you whats happening, right . Yes, but if you know and they are one, two, three. One, you cant speak or breathe, because the object is blocking your airway. Right. Two, you turn blue because oxygen is not getting into your tissues. And three, if you go on, youll fall unconscious, because oxygen isnt getting to your brain. Okay. And in addition to that, because people cant speak, i devised a sign thats now known by my name is the heimlich sign. Which is simply this. And if you see someone do this, you say, are you choking . That makes the diagnosis 100 . Right. Okay, so i am seated in a restaurant and you would ask me to stand up . Not necessarily, but ill show you how to do it standing up and show that it can be done standing. All right, so im going right. [ laughter ] are you choking . Okay. [ laughter ] the first time youve been silent on this show, i think. [ laughter ] [ applause ] one more, doctor okay, im choking what are you going to do now . Okay. Im going to put my arms around your waist. Oh, yes. [ laughter ] come on, be i enjoy demonstrating this on ill bet you did. And you make a fist. Right. And you take the thumb side of that fist mmhmmm. And you place it against the abdomen, just above the belly button right. And below the ribcage. Right. Below that floating rib. Then you press into the abdomen with a quick upward thrust. Right. That pushes right. Compresses the air and blows the object away. All right. Ugh [ laughter ] now, the first word you say is, bill [ laughter ] i just want to show this one thing. It automatically forces air up theres no way you can resist that. No way. And this is the movement, you see. This is why you cant break a rib. If you do this well, what i did was you squeezed. You squeezed the chest. Rather than but if you just right. And i coined this phrase [ laughter ] forgive me, theres the rib. Okay. Thats a rib, all right. This would be right here. Excuse us a minute. Put the hand right there. Thats good right in there. I see. Its the flat part. Put your hand here. Then all i have to im not going to squeeze. Youre not going to do that. Im just do one, two ugh there, i did it. And you dont have to really do it any harder than that. But it forces doctor, what i was taught it, is it not kind of a rolling no, its right in. It is you use that part of your hand because theres knob there, you scientifically, its not guesswork. Right in the pit of the stomach and just mmm right. Thank you. [ laughter ] now, i devised the maneuver [ laughter ] three [ laughter ] okay, now, suppose im in a cheap restaurant, which obviously this is [ laughter ] i mean, you waited on this one and obviously, im in a beanery somewhere [ laughter ] oh, a joke, a joke, a joke. Very simple. You actually just im blue blue choking. You get behind him and do exactly the same thing. Right. Heres the back of the chair, you see. I see. So you dont have to get the person up. While we have the chair, im going to show one more thing. Certainly. Its terribly important. If you could just stand here another time. This is terribly important and i only found this out as people wrote in and said, i saved my own life. And the way they did it and we havent shown this as much as should be. If theyn they couldnt write it if they hadnt saved their own life. If it hadnt worked, i mean thats one. [ laughter ] [ applause ] may take over that ahh. Youre about to write [ laughter ] all right, come on folks. We open tonight you place your fist right. And do it yourself. You actually can right, the same way. Or you place your belly in the same spot against the back of a chair right. The edge of the sink and fall against it. How about somebody thats very small, like an infant . Okay. And you do the same type of a little different. Weve saved infants all right, now we have a small we had a doll. Ethel, you want to were not going to use a real child, here. Now, with an infant and weve saved infants you just use two fingers like that and do the same thing. Or you can turn them over this way and you can do this with an adult in this position, as well. And you do it the same way. Right. This is not an infant that wets, im happy to say. The maneuver is really basically so simple, that everybody should really know how to do that, like the breathing and crp you know, they should know that emergency treatment. Well, what they call that . What am i saying . Cpr. Cpr. [ music ] [ applause ] i think i should mention it, that richie as earlier, did burn himself and is what we at st. Josephs hospital right across the street. But hes going to be fine. He did get burned this morning this evening. So we thank him for being here were sorry that happened. I thank you for being here, doctor, really. Doctor heimlich will be opening a catch a rising star in new york [ laughter ] we usually tell where everybody is going from here and he maybe might be heading that way. Thank you, thats very valuable for people to know around the country. They told me that since this came out, some 3,500 people have been saved around the country from your personal knowledge, that people have in the past three years its thats good.
